This week A Very Spatial Podcast is sponsored by ITT Visual Information Solution’s ENVI EX and ESRI.

On Thursday, December 3rd, ESRI will host a free live training seminar titled “Maximizing GPS Accuracy in GIS Data Collection.” GPS is changing the way GIS users collect and manage geographic data and this seminar will show you how to maximize GPS accuracy in your GIS data collection workflows. Visit www.esri.com/lts for local times and more information.

On the podcast you noted the FGDC “Community Assistance Program” Grants. Actually, CAP is for Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP). (You cited Geoff Zeiss’ blog in the show notes. Geoff is a great guy, but Canadian, which why he is excused for having the error on his blog.) The correct name and details are here: http://www.fgdc.gov/grants/2010NSDICAP/2010CAP

Also, thanks for noting The Nature of Geographic Information. It’s the text for course of that name from Penn State. It’s one of several courses from the Penn State Geography program that are available under an open license. There’s a list of such courseware (including that from other programs in the college) here: http://open.ems.psu.edu/courseware Also, be aware that only registered students may post comments. Visitors can only read comments.
